What it is like now

You are often planning a service in a church that is not your own, to somebody else’s customs.
The readings have to be looked up, and November is where lookups go wrong.
Every parish’s booklet is a different Word document with different conventions.

What changes

The readings resolve from the date, including the awkward Sundays before Advent.
Each parish’s own order of service is stored as that parish’s, so you are not guessing at local custom.
The musicians’ summary prints separately, so the organist gets what they need without the whole booklet.

Set up your church once. Name, colour, badge, and whether you pray in traditional or contemporary language.
Build your order of service once. Walk through the service, including or omitting each part, pasting your own texts where you use your own. See the full Order One shape.
Each week, plan the Sunday. The readings and the psalm are already set out; choose hymns from suggestions matched to them, add the notices.
Print. An A5 booklet imposed for your photocopier, or A4 in larger type.

There is a real sample booklet you can download without an account, and this Sunday’s readings are on the site whether or not you ever sign up.
